About Me

1. Theory only works in theory.
2. Don't do to others what you don't want others do to you
3. Leave no question unanswered

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
I still haven't got a clue. I guess 'The ultimate Trivial Pursuit-player' comes closest. I'm interested in everyting, and like to get to know stuff.

I really love whisky, rum, cognac and other spirits.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Me and my girlfriend are travelling through South America for six and a half months, and would like to meet 'locals'. So far this has worked well, and our trip has been a great experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Me and a friend stayed at Bianca Brouwers' place. Bianca is a great host and I felt really welcome. She showed us her bee-colony and I discovered that bees are really intriguing animals.
